sound deadenin is an arse to remove. best way i found is sharp thin paint scrapper and a hot air gun, and then using tar and glue remover to remove the remains, look in my garage for pics

I heated up the black tar stuff and kept scraping away with a spatular then got a paint brush and repeatidly brushed white spirit over the remaining shite and it all lifted off.
